Expanding Youth Voting Access: Campus Registration, Pre-registration, and ID Acceptance.
This act aims to remove systemic barriers preventing young people from participating in federal elections. It mandates voter registration services at public colleges, allows pre-registration starting at age 16, and requires polling locations on public university campuses. Crucially, student IDs must be accepted as valid voter identification where ID is required.
